Abstract
A computerized information system and method using object-centric virtual database(s) and analyses advantageously suited to transportation safety applications, such as for the aviation industry (in which case aircraft may be the unit of observation i.e. the object class, and the individual object is an individual aircraft), as well as for health and other safety monitoring applications. A database comprises at least one set of data records, each data record pertaining to an event for an individual object and comprising a plurality of data fields, at least one of the data fields comprising an identifier identifying one individual object. A user interface component receives user-selected criteria for field values of the data fields and a selection component selects those data records which correspond to the user-selected criteria. An analysis component identifies the selected data records according to a chronological sequence of events for individual objects covered by the selected data records, whereby each individual object covered by the selected data records is associated with a longitudinal set of data records, and derives output data for the events from the longitudinal sets of…
